A more charitable interpretation is people have suddenly been reminded that he exists and of what he did. I don’t think that anyone is getting paid to do propaganda against Republican primary candidates on Hacker News. That goes doubly so f

Theoretically the lenses could make this not a problem. We’ll have to see how it works in practice though.

Trying any editor other than VSCode might help; it’s notoriously slow.

According to the article, this is not a demo. This is just the first ninety minutes of the full game. So this can’t offer anything that your game itself doesn’t offer in its first ninety minutes.

The US government is also suing to prevent the deal. They would support the penalties.

I think that's more likely due to internet commentators generally suggesting SaaS solutions over using FOSS or building from scratch. How many more blog posts are there about how great a SaaS is than there are about how they really lik

It depends on your threat model. If you're worried about Bezos, Amazon, or a government, Alexa is absolutely a privacy risk. If you're worried about wide attacks or a script kiddy coming after you, Alexa is probably not the main v

Telegram, which is easily the best chat app by software quality, has native apps on all platforms (well, QT on desktop, but that’s close enough). iMessage is native as well, and widely used, though it has admittedly fewer target devices. Th

Yep! For another area, it’s very difficult to use any Electron app with OS-built-in voice control, while almost all native apps work fine.

Maybe I’m missing the hyperbole, but almost all iPhones and Google Pixels fit into that gap. The base iPhone 14 is $799, the iPhone SE is $429, and there are older model iPhones in between. Even the base iPhone 14 Pro is $999, technically i

As I see it, Microsoft has become so incompetent as an organization that they can no longer be said to have core competencies.

They use a rand() function as part of the input. I don’t think they have a source of true randomness they use, but it’s random enough for any practical purpose.

You can (and should) use mypy as part of your pipeline if you use type annotations, and that verifies that your types are correct without needing to use a special editor.

Voice also simply doesn’t work for people with auditory issues (which includes many elderly people)! They theoretically could use video with a sign language, but there’s no way that that will be prioritized, especially with the “get 80% don

That’s why copyright exists, so that more people create art for a living. You can be against copyright, but it’s certainly something that the law concerns itself with.

There was an article here yesterday about how new apartment buildings have only electronic locks that require either an iPhone or an Android to get into the apartment. I’m sure they’re not introducing those at a retirement home any time soo

I wonder if it would find it if you asked: “There is a bug in that code. Could you explain the problem and fix it?” I’ve certainly had that happen in enough interviews, haha.

Sometimes you can drag along the bottom to seek, but it only seems to work on some shorts. You can sometimes tell if it will work because it’ll show a progress bar at the bottom. I’m not sure what distinguishes those though, since I’ve seen
